And Jesus answering said
unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they
that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance. (Luke 5:31-32)

In one of the most important passages in the New Testament regarding
repentance (2 Corinthians 7:9-11), Paul uses essentially the
same phrase three times to express what he means by repentance:
He rejoices that the Corinthian believers were made sorry
after a godly manner (v. 9), calls it a godly sorrow
(v. 10), claiming that they sorrowed after a godly sort
(v. 11). This phrase could literally be translated sorrow
according to God, which leads to repentance. Such sorrow
is contrasted to the sorrow of the world [that] worketh
death (v. 10), which is a mere regret of consequences or
remorse of conscience, which does not yield repentance but only
despair and possibly suicide. For godly sorrow worketh
repentance to salvation (v. 10).

Just as godly sorrow leads to repentance, so should the blessings
of God. Despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance
and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth
thee to repentance? (Romans 2:4). God desires repentance
on the part of the sinning one and is free to use whatever vehicle
He chooses to bring it about.

True repentance involves a recognition of sin as a crime against
God and a violation of His holy nature. Our recognition of this
fact brings godly sorrow that leads inevitably to a change of
mindset toward the sin and a confession of it as sin (1 John
1:9), and this brings forgiveness from God.

Christ taught that this sorrow according to God brings
great joy elsewhere in the universe: Likewise, I say unto
you there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one
sinner that repenteth (Luke 15:10). JDM

We believe every word in the KJV Bible and believe it is
the Word of God and that Jesus is the Christ, God Himself, who
spilled His blood on the cross for our sins and rose again to
prepare a place for those who repent and accept 'His' righteousness
as their righteousness. They are those who accept Jesus Christ
as their Lord and Savior, Jews first and then Gentiles. "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any
man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him,
and will sup with him, and he with me." We

Cephas Ministry
cordially invites you to subscribe to our free newsletter.
The controversial International Social Pulse deals with the Church
/ Global Issues / Israel, and is edited by Rita Williams

Cephas Ministry advocates KJV
Bible only to study for truth necessary to become part
of the Bride of Christ. The Bible states that the Bible is the
only truth available to us.

MORE GREETINGS to all and the newcomers to this list. We'd
like to introduce ourselves. George and Rita Williams founded
this ministry. George went to be with the Lord in 2003. We were
Mormons (Temple Mormons) for 20 years. We prayed to God in 1992
to allow us to do a ministry speaking out against Scientology.
Six months later God led us to the truth: out of the cult of
Mormonism. We did not know at the time we were in a cult. No-one
had witnessed to us in 20 years.

The Holy Spirit brought us to information about all the cults
and the present development of the New World Order. We began
bringing our research to you. Because all the research was already
done, we decided to build a library within Cephas Ministry. Our
newsletters are not designed to provoke
anger which is strictly prohibited in Scripture. It is to shed
light on activities by those who would deceive those who are
recorded in the Book of Life by devious methods and systematic
plans.

We are Bible students and have left all worldly organizations.
We attend church if the message is from the authorized KJV Bible.
The focus of these newsletters is to prove why we had to leave
the world system. We are called 'Watchmen on the Wall' which
God always had during the Old / New Testament Times.

To understand what is happening, one has to know the Bible
to compare notes.

The first section is about the church.
The news about churches is unedited unless indicated by Ednotes.
The church as we knew it, is undergoing disintegration. This
began on a fast track in the early nineteen sixties when the
Catholic Church produced liberal Vatican II to replace Vatican
I.

The trend since then has been ecumenical which is truly what
the word 'Catholicism' means: a universal religion all
inclusive and multicultural. The Bible calls for a final church
and today's church doesn't resemble what Jesus taught. The Word
of God has undergone many changes to fit the progressive modes.
Many new Bible tranlations have brought confusion. The Bible
calls for a falling away from churches and becoming
atheistic before Jesus comes back for His Bride. The true believers
are called 'Ekklesia.' Our newsletters prove this fact and prove
that the Bible is true from beginning to end.

The second section is about globalism
where we bring your attention to the social, political and global
trend, the so called democratizing what is left of the world.
This is a deception since the underlying new world global government
is developed by implementing sustainable development (Agenda
21). The Bible prophesies that there will be ten kings (ten
horns), each king (horn) will receive a region of the world as
a reward for work well done for the Antichrist. This is the reason
for the present development of NAU (The North American Union)
as well as the war in the Middle East. It again proves that we
are moving to closure of the times of the Gentiles prophesied
in the Bible. The end result will not be Democracy but a form
of Fascist Communism (Public/Private Corporations enslaving mankind).

The third section compliments End Time
teachings because Israel is the time piece of the Biblical Prophecy.
1948 was the beginning of the figtree representing Israel, coming
back to life. Israel was allowed to return to its land. Israel
is the rock upon which the world stumbles and crumbles. We watch
and visit Israel for signs which point to the Tribulation to
confirm that we are moving into that space of time.

Watchmen on the wall do not solicit memberships. We have
an email group that gets information when we upload new information
and newsletters whenever it is possible time wise. We love the
Lord with all our hearts and minds and we love all people God
has created but especially those who love our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. Our Mission and Statement of Faith are at http://www.livelyhope.co/statement_of_faith.html

We trust that
our readers will not be discouraged. It is Gods
will that we know the times (1 Ch. 12:32; Mat. 16:3) and that we be as wise as serpents
and harmless as doves.

The Cephas
Newsletter reminds us that the hour is very late, and we need
to be ready for the Lords coming. Are you sure that
you are born again? Are you living for Christ?

"And
that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out
of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore
cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the
armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not
in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness,
not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof"
(Rom.
13:11-14).

PS We are seeking
the truth and use much material from many sources only when we
believe their material could be of service to you. That should
not imply that we endorse ministries, news organizations or various
authors. We are not all-knowing and cannot predict what people
will write in the future. CMI

QUEEN OF ALL

THE MARIAN APPARITIONS' PLAN
TO UNITE ALL RELIGIONS UNDER THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH WITH JIM
TETLOW AND ROGER OAKLAND

I would like to inform you
of a new end times audio drama that exposes the coming ET and
Marian deception by Jim Tetlow and myself with the help of many
people. It is called 'The Coming Global Transformation.'

THE BABE IN BETHLEHEM
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among
the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto
me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been
from of old, from everlasting. (Micah 5:2)
This is a very remarkable prophecy, explicitly predicting that
the future King of Israel would be born in the little village
of Bethlehem some 700 years before He finally came. Then, to
assure its fulfillment, the great Emperor Augustus had to decree
a comprehensive census, compelling Joseph to take Mary with him
to Bethlehem for her child to be born.
That the prophecy involves an actual birth is clear, not only
from the phrase come forth, but also from the succeeding
verse that warns God will give them up, until the time
that she which travaileth hath brought forth (v. 3). The
preceding verse had also predicted that they shall smite
[this coming ruler] the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek
(v. 1), speaking of His initial rejection and execution.
But the prophecy not only foresees His birth in Bethlehem, His
repudiation by His own people, and His eventual installation
as King over all Israel (not merely Judah), but also that this
same remarkable person was none other than God Himself! His goings
forth had been from everlasting. That is, He
is eternally proceeding forth from His Father. He did not become
Gods Son when He was born in Bethlehem; He has been coming
forth eternally.
There is still another truth implied in the Hebrew word for goings
forth. It is also used for such things as the flowing of
water from a fountain or the radiations from the sun. Thus, the
never-ending flowing forth of power from God through the Son
is nothing less than the sustaining energy for the whole creation,
as He is upholding all things by the word of his power
(Hebrews 1:3). And this was the Babe in Bethlehem! HMM http://webmail.earthlink.net/wam/msg.jsp?msgid=202733&x=633126830

KEEPING THE LAW

November 13, 2016 - For whosoever shall keep the whole
law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
(James 2:10)
The law of God, centered in the Ten Commandments, is holy,
and just, and good (Romans 7:12) and expresses perfectly
the will of God for holy living. The man that doeth them
shall live in them (Galatians 3:12).
The problem is that no man can possibly do them all. He may keep
most of the commandments most of the time, but he will inevitably
fail in some of them some of the time. Since the law is a divine
unit, breaking any commandmentas our text reminds usbreaks
the whole law, bringing the guilty one under Gods curse
of death. Cursed is every one that continueth not in all
things which are written in the book of the law to do them
(Galatians 3:10). Therefore by the deeds of the law there
shall no flesh be justified in his sight (Romans 3:20).
All men, having sinned against Gods law, are therefore
lost and in urgent need of salvation. This is where Gods
wonderful grace comes in. But now the righteousness of
God without the law is manifested, . . . Even the righteousness
. . . which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all
them that believe (Romans 3:21-22), Christ hath redeemed
us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us
(Galatians 3:13). He kept the law for us, and bore its curse
for us: Thus we are saved through trusting Him.
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that
grace may abound? God forbid (Romans 6:1-2). We now desire
to keep His commandments, because we love Him. For this
is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments
are not grievous (1 John 5:3). We are now able to keep
them, because His Spirit now lives in us, and we are strengthened
with might by his Spirit in the inner man (Ephesians 3:16).

WAIT !!

"For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also
eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will
transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious
body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue
all things to Himself". (Philippians 3:20-21)
Anyone who has ever had to wait for anything, realizes that waiting
is not fun. But waiting adds to faith in a way that immediate
gratification cannot. It develops and matures you in your walk
(sanctification) with the Lord. Abraham, who exhibited an amazing
amount of faith, waited many decades for the promise of a son
that the Lord would provide to both him and Sarah. Once that
heir (Isaac) came and grew, God then instructed Abraham to take
him to Mt. Moriah (modern day Golgotha/Calvary), making Isaac
carry his own wood which Abraham would use to sacrifice him.
This all seemed contrary to all that God had promised him, but
Abraham was prepared to do this up until the point that the Angel
of the Lord stayed his hand. Abraham demonstrated his faith that
even if God had him kill his own son, God would raise him again
or else God would be breaking his own promise (Gen. 15:1-5; 22:3-5).

While the waiting was something that Abraham and Sarah struggled
with, it developed and matured them. And our waiting is not in
vain because "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise,
as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not
willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance"
(2 Peter 3:9). Anytime we lose sight of this, let us remember
the day we came to Christ: what if God had chosen the day prior,
to be the day of the Rapture? While we wait, let God develop
us into the people He wants us to become. In our waiting, let
us focus on the goal of running for the prize (1 Cor. 9:25; Phil.
3:14).

Even though our ultimate goal is Heaven, our goal here on earth
should be that " we all come to the unity of the faith and
of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the
measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should
no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with
every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning
craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in
love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head-Christ."
(Ephesians 4:13-15) http://www.omegaletter.com/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8352

A SALVATION MESSAGE
END TIMES PROPHECY NEWS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zXD3ImyB2c

December 26, 2016 - By Bernard Starr - Nowhere in the New
Testament does Jesus or Paul say that he is rejecting Judaism
and starting a new religion. In fact, the term Christian
doesnt appear at all in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John), which chronicle Jesus spiritual mission; and
it only appears later, three times in the rest of the New Testament.
The first utterance of the word Christian occurs
when Paul is preaching in Antioch more than a decade after the
crucifixion.

But the word Jew appears 202 times in the New
Testament, with 82 of those mentions in the Gospels.

The evidence in the New Testament persuasively suggests that
both Jesus and Paul viewed their teachings as Jewish revisionism
 not a rejection of Judaism or the proposal for a new religion.
If this is true, as it seems to be according to the Gospels and
Acts of the Apostles (Book 5 of the New Testament), then we must
ask: Who launched Christianity?
While the question presumes that someone had to fill that role,
the answer may be that no one officially founded Christianity;
it just happened.

It just happened doesnt mean that it mysteriously
materialized out of nowhere. A firm foundation was needed to
enable it to just happen. While Jesus and Paul established
the foundation for the new religion, neither of them officially
initiated Christianity as a religion separate from Judaism. On
the contrary, both remained dedicated to Judaism throughout their
lives, as documented in the New Testament.

So why are so many people convinced that Jesus or Paul created
a new religion?

Many who believe that Jesus wanted a new religion cite his
pronouncement in Matthew 16:18: You are Peter, and on this
rock I will build my church. They jumped to the conclusion
that church in this statement means a Christian or
Catholic church, as we know it today  a building housing
a new religion. But that doesnt make much sense.

A WORD FROM CARYL MATRISCIANA'S SON JOSHUA.
My mum passed away on Saturday, December 2nd, 2016 after a two-year
long battle with cancer. She was an incredibly strong and brave
woman and will be missed by hundreds, if not thousands of people.
Back in 2014, the Lord spoke to my wife and I to "get thee
out" of Downtown LA, where we were living, kind of like
the command He gave Abraham (Gen 12:1) , with such urgency that
we literally left having already paid for next months rent. We
knew exactly where we should go, my Mum had been telling us that
a house two doors down from her had become available and we moved
in. One week later we heard the news that she had been diagnosed
with cancer, and suddenly we realized why the Lord had directed
us to move so quickly. For the next two years, I accompanied
her to doctors visits, researched alternative treatments and
was by her side as she dealt with the emotions that come from
realizing there is a ticking clock to your life that doctors
are telling you is just months away.
In the midst of this terrifying storm, there was a joy that emerged
with the incredible opportunity of her joining us in the delivery
room where she witnessed our first baby being born. Asher was
now the light in her life, and the year of joy he brought her
was purely a blessing from God.
There weren't any outward effects of her cancer until after Mum
officiated my brother's wedding, in July, another truly incredible
time that we will treasure in our memories of her forever. It
started as a rash across her chest, and as the weeks went by,
it became worse and worse and manifested into fungated lesions.
(Don't google image that unless you have a very strong stomach).
Extremely painful. Her sister came out from England for a month
to help take care of her, and convinced her to call hospice.
Hope Hospice sent nurses and caretakers several times a week
to help bathe her, manage her pain, and eventually bring in the
hospital bed and oxygen machine that she ended up desperately
needing. I was by her side every day for that final week, slept
in a cot next to her bed, spoon fed her soup and eventually water
when she was too weak to drink from a straw. I witnessed first-hand
this vibrant woman, so full of life and vitality, have her body
so rapidly deteriorate, until finally, she gave up her spirit.
Although unconscious, she was surrounded by her close friends
and family. I can't write this without tears running down my
face, she was such an incredible woman. We miss her so dearly.
That last week with her we listened to the Psalms together on
repeat, probably 20 times. At this point, she could hardly speak,
but there were moments of clarity when she would repeat a word
or two as it was being read, so I knew she was tracking with
it.
She left this world knowing that she was going to have another
grand-baby, and yet I could tell by her face that she was heartbroken
that she would never meet him or her. There is such deep sadness
that so many share with us over Mum, but she wanted us to celebrate
her passing on. She intended her Celebration of Life Memorial
service to be a time of joy, a time of remembering the fun, the
laughter, and all the incredible parties she threw. A time to
reflect on the tennis events, the little gifts she loved to give
and the bigger-than-life stories that always had us roaring.
She was the glamorous life of the party, always in good fashion
and never to be outdone in a game of Rummicube or Mexican Train.
She always greeted everyone with such warming hospitality, and
they always left feeling a little bit happier.
Caryl drew her strength from the Lord, she found her joy in Him,
through the darkest times of her life, she found hope in her
Savior and we now can find peace in the assurance that she is
now with Him, finally free from such unspeakable pain.
As we enter in this season when we celebrate the birth of our
Messiah, I am reminded that He gave His life for us. Us, the
poor, wretched, infested by sin, disgusting, and repulsive--
yet He sacrificed Himself so that we can inherit eternal life.
Eternal life, free from the bondage of the fleshly prison that
grows old, withers, and dies. Eternal life, free from pain, suffering
and hardship. Eternal life, sharing in the overwhelming love
that our Creator has with us, being engulfed by our Father's
caring embrace. I can rest assured, knowing that death is merely
the passage to another life, a fuller life. A life that is simply
determined by a choice, do we accept the gift that our Savior
paid everything for, because of His insurmountable love and desire
for us to join Him in Paradise, or do we choose to travel through
death alone and without the assurance that there is peace on
the other side ?
Mum's last words to me were, "Why are you so good to me?"
my simple reply, "Because we love you, Mum."
A little piece of all our hearts has left with you but even though
you are gone you still light up the room.
- Joshua Matrisciana

By Michael Gryboski , Christian Post Reporter - December
23, 2016 | Moore has garnered national headlines first in 2003
for his refusal to remove a Ten Commandments display from the
rotunda of an Alabama courthouse and then recently for his refusal
to enforce a ruling legalizing gay marriage in the state.

Moore was among several potential replacements for Senator
Jeff Sessions, who is expected to become the next Attorney General
of the United States.

The possibility that Moore could be appointed to the vacant
seat comes as the outspoken judge battles a suspension he received
for issuing an order in January telling probate judges to not
issue marriage licenses to same sex couples.

In September, state Court of the Judiciary rendered a 50-page
ruling that suspended Moore without pay for his "disregard
for binding federal law."

"The chief justice made national headlines in 2003 when
he defied a federal court order to remove a Ten Commandments
monument from a public judicial building on the grounds that
it was an unconstitutional endorsement of religion," reported
CNN.

DONALD TRUMP, MAN OF FAITH
By Matthew Schmitz - August 2016
Donald Trump is a man of faith. Its true that during his
presidential campaign he has demeaned women, mocked the disabled,
and praised the abortionists of Planned Parenthood; that his
early exploits include repeated adulterous affairs, about which
he boasts, and a failed attempt to evict a widow from her home;
that, unlike King David, to whom his more shameless supporters
compare him, he has never asked God for forgiveness. Trump is
nonetheless a man of strong and very American faith. His career
throws a light on the spirit of the age, as Lytton Strachey once
said of Cardinal Manning. The light is not very flattering. Trump
was baptized and confirmed at the First Presbyterian Church in
Jamaica, Queens, in New York City. His parents raised him in
the austerities typical of devout low-church Protestants. As
a result, he does not gamble, smoke, or imbibeeven when
the stimulant is caffeine. Ive never had a cigarette.
Ive never had a glass of alcohol. I wont even drink
a cup of coffee, he told Esquire last year. (It is hard
to forget when noting Trumps abstemious habits that Hitler
and Mussolini neither smoke nor drank.)

In his late twenties, Trump began attending Marble Collegiate
Church on Fifth Avenue. Founded in 1628 in the Dutch colony of
New Amsterdam, Marble Collegiate is one of the few institutions
that survives from the citys founding. Peter Minuit, the
governor of New Amsterdam, was the first church elder, and Peter
Stuyvesant, the colonys director general, led worshippers
to service every Sunday. The high steeple of its current home,
erected in 1854, rises two hundred feet above the pavement, a
symbol of uprightness set in stone. Here Trump walked down the
aisle after exchanging vows with Ivana and heard the sermons
of Norman Vincent Peale, a man whose philosophy would become
Trumps own.

When Trump met him, Peale was already famous as the author
of The Power of Positive Thinking, a book that would go on to
sell some five million copies. Peale occupied a position at the
center of the establishment, though this standing was endangered
in 1960, when he joined a group of 150 Protestant pastors, including
Billy Graham, that wanted to keep Kennedy out of the White House.
The group issued a manifesto asking whether a Catholic could
be trusted as president when Rome had shown such determined
efforts . . . to breach the wall of separation of church and
state. Peale led the public presentation of the document
and faced an immediate backlash from Union Theological Seminarys
Reinhold Niebuhr and John Bennett, who accused him of blind
prejudice. The embarrassed Peale apologized and from then
on sought to distance his teaching from the harsh realities of
politics. [...] These were the people he met in masonic halls,
resort hotels, and cruise-ship conference rooms. In them he sensed
innate decency and ability. Any one of them could become efficient
and successfulif only he would believe in himself, harnessing
the power of positive thinking. [...]
Peale promised his readers constant energy if they
thought positively. Optimistic thoughts opened one up to a vital
force coming directly from God. Negative thoughts, especially
a tendency to dwell on ones faults, could interfere with
the divine charge. He warned those with active consciences that
the quantity of vital force required to give the personality
relief from either guilt or fear was so great that it left
only a fraction of energy for going about ones
tasks. Productivity and cheeriness became for him the signs of
eternal election. (In attacking Jeb Bush for being low-energy,
Trump effectively accused him of having forfeited the Holy Ghost.)
[...] Christianity is a religion of losers. To the weak and humble,
it offers a stripped and humiliated Lord. To those without reason
for optimism, it holds up the cross as a sign of hope. To anyone
who does not win at life, it promises that whoever loses his
life for Christs sake shall find it. At its center stands
a truth that we are prone to forget. There are people who cannot
be made into winners, no matter how positive their thinking.
They need something more paradoxical and cruciform.
After one of Trumps outbursts, I walked up to Marble Collegiate
Church to see where he once worshipped. I tried a front and then
a side door before deciding that the church must be closed. When
I was about to turn away, a janitor came out of the building.
He asked me what I wanted and then led me inside. The sanctuary
was painted in burgundy and gold, with soft carpet, and pew brackets
that hold plastic thimble cups used for communion. The janitor
pointed out a recently installed stained-glass window depicting
the Crucifixion. Before that window was put in, there was
no cross in here, he told me. I asked him whether he attended
church there and he said, no, he was a Catholic.

The World Council of Churches was created to bring all churches
together, in other words to become the Pope's new world church
that believes that all humans will go to heaven. The Pope doesn't
believe in creation but promotes evolution.
The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) determines

AFTER EMBRACING GAY MARRIAGE, PRESBYTARIAN CHURCH USA DYING
ON THE VINE

By Jennifer LeClaire - May 20, 2015 - The Presbyterian Church
USA (PCUSA) is not only failing to see growth, it appears to
be dying on the vine. A new report from the Office of the General
Assembly shows that the denomination, which capitulated to the
gay agenda, has less than 10,000 churches after an exodus of
Bible-believing pastors. Recently, 34,000 black churches broke
ties with the PCUSA, among others. Meanwhile, you have Presbyterian
ministers who don't believe in God yet still claim to be Christians.
Franklin Graham has had plenty to say about the PCUSA's apostasy.
Total membership at the end of 2014 was 1,667,767. That's compared
to 1,760,200 at the end of 2013 and 1,849,496 at the end of 2012.
"Membership declines continue, but on a whole the denomination
is settling into the new thing God is creating," says Gradye
Parsons, Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the PCUSA. He
insists the denomination is still "made up of vibrant congregations
doing their best to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ in their
communities and in the world."
Some may argue that, but what can't be argued is the declining
membership. According to the report, the total number of churches
in 2014 was 9,829, compared to 10,038 in 2013 and 10,262 in 2012.
Significant of the 209-church-loss of 2014 was the fact that
only 101 of those were dismissed to other denominations, a decrease
from the 148 congregations dismissed to other denominations in
2013.http://www.charismanews.com/us/49724-after-embracing-gay-marriage-presbyterian-church-usa-dying-on-the-vine

TRUMPS ATTEND CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICES AT FLORIDA CHURCH WHERE
THEY MARRIED

By Michael Gryboski - Christian Post Reporter - December
26, 2016 - The worship service the Trumps attended was held at
10:30 p.m. at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea
in West Palm Beach, with The Washington Post reporting that the
Trumps' arrival sparked "a round of applause from fellow
congregants as they entered the sanctuary." "The service
ended after midnight, and the Trumps returned to Mar-a-Lago,
where they were expected to celebrate Christmas with family and
friends at the private club," reported the Post. "The
Trumps attended Christmas Eve services at the church last year
during the campaign, and they returned for Easter services there
in March." The Post also noted that while the church rector,
the Rev. James Harlan, avoided politics in his sermon, at one
point he did seem to offer advice for the president-elect and
other congregants. "All of us have some hurts, some resentments,
some fears, some ways that someone has hurt us or offended us
in the past that we won't let go of," said Harlan. http://www.christianpost.com/news/trumps-attend-christmas-eve-services-at-florida-church-where-they-married-172366/

The amount of false prophets wielding their own twist on
the Word of God is astounding.

Mike Murdock promises 3-months of miracles and uncommon blessing

COURT ORDERS REMOVAL OF TEN COMMANDMENTS MONUMENT November 13, 2016 - CBN News -
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a lower court order
to remove the Ten Commandments monument from the lawn of Bloomfield
City Hall in New Mexico. The three-judge panel ruled that the
display is an "unconstitutional endorsement" of Christianity.
"Bloomfield has not undertaken sufficiently purposeful,
public, and persuasive actions to secularize the Monument's previous
'principal or primary' religious message," the panel wrote
earlier this week. "The City has never explicitly said this
Monument was not for religious purposes, nor that it was exhibited
only for its historical significance." The monument, paid
for with private money, was erected in 2011 after a resolution
allowed private residents to place historical displays at city
hall.

However, local Wiccans were offended by the statue and contacted
the American Civil Liberties Union.

"Our clients who are not Christians, they took issue
with this and it made them feel alienated from their community,"
Alexandra Smith, legal director for the ACLU of New Mexico, told
local television station KRQE.

The ACLU filed a lawsuit against the city in 2012, claiming
that the monument's location on government property equated to
the government's endorsement of religion.

In 2014, a court judge sided with the plaintiffs and ruled
that the City of Bloomfield violated the Establishment Clause
by endorsing a religion.

The city appealed, but circuit court judges Robert Bacharach,
Carolyn McHugh, and David Ebel unanimously rejected their argument.

"In light of those considerations, and the situational
context of the Ten Commandments on the lawn, the City would have
to do more than merely add a few secular monuments in order to
signal to objective observers a 'principal or primary' message
of neutrality," they concluded. "Because we find an
impermissible effect of endorsement that is insufficiently mitigated
by curative efforts, we affirm."

The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) said the city is considering
making another appeal.

"As the U.S. Supreme Court recently made clear, a constitutional
violation doesn't occur simply because a person encounters speech
he finds disagreeable and 'experiences a sense of affront,'"
remarked legal counsel Jonathan Scruggs in a statement. "In
this case, a Ten Commandments monument nestled among many other
monuments honoring significant documents in American history
shouldn't be attacked simply because two people feel offended
by it. For these reasons and others, we are consulting with our
client to consider their options for appeal," he added.http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/cwn/2016/november/indonesian-church-members-keep-spirits-high-despite-worshipping-in-woods

SOUL SEARCHING RESEARCHERS CLAIM THAT HUMANS HAVE SOULS WHICH
CAN LIVE ON AFER DEATH

The idea that human consciousness lives on after death has
been put forward by a number of well-respected scientists
By GEORGE HARRISON - November 5, 2016 - SCIENTISTS have claimed
that death may not be as final as we once feared  and that
humans have souls that can leave the body after their hosts kick
the bucket.

It may sound like a supernatural myth, but the idea that
human consciousness lives on after death has been put forward
by a number of well-respected scientists. And the British scientist
at the forefront of the eerie theory claims that humans have
souls which don't die along with the body. We many not know exactly
what consciousness is, but physicist Sir Roger Penrose believes
that it's just a packet of information stored at a quantum -
or sub-atomic - level.

Sensationally, he claims to have found evidence that this
information, which is stored in microtubules within human cells,
leaves the body after a person dies.
Sir Roger has argued that when a person dies temporarily, this
quantum information is released into the universe, only to return
to the body's cells if the host is brought back to life. He argues
that this explains why people can have near-death experiences,
and believes that this quantum information amounts to a soul
leaving the body. The physics expert said: "If the patient
dies, it's possible that this quantum information can exist outside
the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul." https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/2123380/researchers-claim-that-humans-have-souls-which-can-live-on-after-death/

By Bill Hoffmann | November 11, 2016 - The sweeping support
evangelicals gave Donald Trump on Election Day was stoked by
their fear that Christianity is being killed off, Johnnie Moore,
a spokesman for My Faith Votes, which focuses on getting Christian
Americans to the polls, tells Newsmax TV. "America has become
an increasingly intolerant place for Christians.... The religious
right is dying, Christianity is dying," Moore said Friday
to J.D. Hayworth on "America Talks Live."

"What we've learned is America isn't Los Angeles or
New York. America is the center of the country and the majority
of the people in this country want religious freedom, they stand
up for Christian values and are unashamed of our Judeo-Christian
effort. "It's what's happened in America: Threats to religious
liberty and all these other things. But I've got to tell you,
Donald Trump deserves all the credit in the world."

Moore, whose nonpartisan group motivates and mobilizes the
Christian vote, said he has never seen anybody "with so
much power and so much influence go to the effort he went to
build individual relationships with not dozens of significant
Christian leaders, but thousands of them." He noted that
some pastors have the billionaire real-estate tycoon and president-elect's
cell phone number.
"[Trump] invited criticism, he created an evangelical advisory
board, he didn't even require everyone to endorse him to be on
the board because he legitimately wanted their advice and they
had an open conversation with him. And it worked in an astonishing,
astonishing way," Moore said. "And this is as American
as anything. I mean we are a country with a Judeo-Christian foundation.
We have a congressionally-mandated National Day of Prayer. This
is something we do.
"I started getting emails and text messages and phone calls
from every direction on Election Day [saying] we're praying
for America, we're praying for Mr. Trump, we're praying for religious
freedom, we're praying for all these things. And it happened.
Not only that, the turnout effort was unbelievable."
SPECIAL: Trumps Surprise Cabinet  Top 15 Revealed!
No sooner had networks projected Donald Trump would be the 45th
president of the United States than speculation began...
Moore said in the previous two elections, 25 million evangelicals
"just sat at home." "That wasn't the case this
time. They, in fact, turned out in record, record numbers. But
it wasn't for lack of effort. I mean My Faith Votes alone had
[public service announcements] in 110 million households
six daily on over 1,000 Christian radio stations all across the
country," he said.
Moore said a repeal of the so-called 1954 "Johnson Amendment"
- which prohibits some tax-exempt organizations from endorsing
and opposing political candidates - is a big issue for Christians
that Trump is going to tackle.
"This amendment was passed in order to keep the pastors
in this country - to keep their mouths shuts. They can't speak
about politics, they could be penalized by the IRS and that's
an anti-American as anything," Moore said.
"And you know Donald Trump is the first Republican candidate
in the history of the Republican Party, to put the repeal
of the Johnson Amendment as part of their platform.

Moore, president of The KAIROS Company a faith-based publicity
and marketing group, is author of "Defying ISIS: Preserving
Christianity in the Place of Its Birth and in Your Own Backyard,"
published by Thomas Nelson.

By Anugrah Kumar , Christian Post Contributor - December
18, 2016 | President Obama signed the Frank R. Wolf International
Religious Freedom Act, which further strengthens the United States'
effort to combat persecution of religious minorities around the
world as part of the country's foreign policy.

"As a world leader for freedom and the protection of
basic human rights, the United States should take every opportunity
to advocate for people to think, believe, and act according to
their religious belief, whether they belong to a minority or
majority religion," Senator James Lankford, a Republican
from Oklahoma, who co-sponsored the bill said in a statement.

The bill, HR 1150, is named after a recently retired Congressman
who is a fervent advocate for persecuted Christians and other
religious minorities around the world. Wolf, who represented
Virginia's 10th Congressional district since 1981 and is a devout
Presbyterian, retired last year.

The upgraded legislation includes provisions aimed at strengthening
key positions within the federal government to make religious
freedom a top priority. The bill ensures that the Ambassador-at-Large
reports directly to the Secretary of State and not a lower-ranking
official.

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter - December 20,
2016 | Young Earth Creationist Ken Ham has spoken out against
Pope Francis, arguing that the pontiff is going against God's
Word by claiming that evolution and the Big Bang show how the
world was created.

"Do we make God a 'magician' as Pope Francis said if
[we] deny the big bang? No! 'For nothing will be impossible with
God' (Luke 1:37)," Ham wrote in a Facebook post on Monday.
"Pope Francis reportedly said 'theories of evolution and
the Big Bang are real' and 'evolution in nature is not inconsistent
with the notion of creation.' But it's inconsistent with God's
Word! The pope is wrong based on Scripture. No matter what the
pope reportedly said, God's Word contradicts the Big Bang and
evolution  only God's Word is infallible," he added.

The Sunshine Coast Daily reported that Francis made his remarks
at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences where he argued that both
evolution and the Big Bang were part of God's plan. "When
we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining
God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything.
But that is not so," Francis reportedly said earlier this
month. "The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin
of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine
Creator but, rather, requires it," he added. "Evolution
in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because
evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve."

Francis is a pagan Jesuit who has sworn a terrible oath to
murder all protestants in the most bestial ways. It is similar
to the oath of the Illuminati.

CHRISTMAS UNDER THE BIG TOP
Dr Ed Young - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs06mmCa2ao

TEXAS MEGACHURCH TURN CHRISTMAS PRODUCTION INTO CIRCUS -
LITERALLY

By Heather Clark - December 21, 2016 - HOUSTON  A megachurch
in Texas recently turned its annual Christmas production in its
worship center into a circusliterally, complete with a
ringmaster, tricks and trapezes.

The Second Baptist Church of Texas, led by Dr. Ed Young,
Sr., presented Christmas Under the Big Top at its
Woodway campus from Friday to Tuesday, with tickets ranging from
$10 to $25. The 90-minute drama centered on a storyline about
a fictional effort to save a financially-struggling circus by
putting on a Christmas show.

In addition to much singing and dancing, the program also
featured a Stomp-like trash can drumming peformance, and plenty
of circus tricks, from juggling to acrobatics to Cyr wheel spinning.
Styles of music varied from traditional to big band, to hip-hop
and rock. A segment of the production also included a living
nativity, and a brief message about lifes distractions
from the meaning of Christmas was delivered near the conclusion

Liquid Iron Jet Has Surrounded Earths Core And IS ACCELERATING
Say Scientists, But They Do Not Know Why?

December 28, 2016 - By SkyWatch Editor - A recent major discovery
identified a massive liquid iron jet stream circling
the Earths outer core that appears to be accelerating.
This comparatively fast flowing liquid iron stream is currently
moving westward under Alaska and Siberia as measured by the Swarm
satellites and recently published in Nature Geoscience. The iron
jet is moving at about 50 km per year, orders of magnitude faster
than plates move and much faster than anything scientists knew
of within Earths interior. Traveling at 50 km per year
doesnt seem rather fast compared to speeds on the surface
of the Earth. However, consider the tremendous amount of energy
required to push aside dense liquid metal under very high pressures
across hundreds of miles. In addition, it appears that this liquid
jet stream is accelerating but scientists have not determined
what is causing the acceleration.

HOLLAND: WILDERS STANDS AGAINST
ISLAMISM, GUILTY OF SPEAKING OUT

Hillel Fendel - December 11, 2016 - After court convicts
him for "discrimination," Wilders' anti-Islamist party
leads in the polls for March election. A court in the Netherlands
has found popular anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders guilty
of "discrimination" for leading a chant against Moroccans
at a 2014 campaign rally. This, in the first European country
to criminalize dissenting opinions about Islam. It is also the
country, writes Giulio Meotti, "whose most outspoken filmmaker
was slaughtered by an Islamist; whose bravest refugee, hunted
by a fatwa, fled to the U.S.; whose cartoonists must live under
protection "

Wilders was convicted but sentenced to no punishment on Friday
for controversial comments he made at an election rally in The
Hague in March 2014. He asked supporters whether they wanted
"fewer or more Moroccans in your city and in the Netherlands,"
and the crowd shouted back, "Fewer! Fewer!" Wilders
then answered with a smile, "We're going to organize that."
[...] Wilders later twitted, "Three PVV-hating judges declare
Moroccans a race and convict me and half of the Netherlands.
Insane." "I will continue to speak the truth regardless,
including about the Moroccan problem, and no judge, politician
or 'terrorist' will stop me," Wilders also said. In the
past, Wilders has vowed to confiscate Korans, close mosques and
Islamic schools, shut the borders and ban migrants from Islamic
countries. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/221568

WILL EUROPE STAND FOR FREEDOM OR SUBMISSION? ASK WILDERS

His life is threatened, but he is found guilty of discrimination.
That is today's Europe.
Giulio Meotti - December 14, 2016 - The lowest point in Geert
Wilders life in hiding was when he was forced to live in
a state prison, the Zeist, after the killing of Theo van Gogh.
Wilders lost his freedom and since then, for ten years, he lives
under police protection 24/7. Wilders could go to a restaurant
with his wife, but the police would check it first. When they
go to the cinema, they enter through the back door. Now a Dutch
court has found him guilty of discrimination for
having called to close the Netherlands to Muslim migrants.

Wilders attitude is that of one who knows he has no
alternative. He will not let the Iranian mullahs write his agenda.
His name was found even among some papers of terrorists in Hevron
and in Iraq. Some Islamist sites offer lavish rewards for whoever
succeeds in killing him. Analysts believe that from the beginning
the real target of Dutch Jihadists was him. Long before the murder
of Van Gogh, Wilders received a video: the invocation to Allah,
a globe covered with a Koran on which stands a Kalashnikov. And
his name. Enemy of Islam, reads an inscription in
Dutch. Sentenced to be beheaded.

The irony is that anyone who threatens Wilders is perfectly
free to walk around, while he was elected by the people and he
can not even announce his rallies and he has now been found guilty
by a court.

If he had criticized Christianity or Judaism, they would
not have banned him in the UK. But Islam is untouchable. Wilders
committed what George Orwell called thought crimes.

GERMAN DEFENSE MINISTER SPARKS OUTRAGE FOR REFUSING TO WEAR HEAD
SCARF DURING SAUDI VISIT

Tré Goins-Phillips - German Defense Minister Ursula
von der Leyen did not wear the traditional veil, called a hijab,
during her

visit to Saudi Arabia last week, and the move is making international
waves.

No woman in my delegation will be required to wear
the abaya, as the right to choose ones attire is a right

shared by men and women equally, she said at the time,
according to the Express.
Von der Leyens decision not to wear a hijab or the abaya,
a loose-fitting garment, during her meeting with

Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman al Saud was not roundly
praised. In fact, some Saudis took to Twitter to express their
anger over the German politicians tailored pantsuit, according
to Middle Eastern news source Al Bawaba. One translated tweet
read: The German Defense Minister: not wearing the hijab
in Saudi was deliberate. This

is an insult to Saudi Arabia. Ok so why didnt
they arrest her? The hypocrisy and double standards, read
another. First lady Michelle Obama earned similar criticism when
she refused to wear the head covering during a visit to Saudi
Arabia last year. The hashtags #MichelleObamaImmodest and #MichelleObamaNotVeiled
trended on Twitter for a short time, the Express reported.

While this topic has been explored before, no author has
been able to bring a truly occultic angle to the discussion.
In other words, Marquis looks at the plan to bring in the New
World Order from the viewpoint of a former witch. In his book,
Marquis includes a chapter entitled, "Is it Catholicism
or Witchcraft?" At the beginning of this chapter, Marquis
makes a quite startling statement, "I must emphatically
state that Catholicism and witchcraft are one and the same...
there is no difference between witchcraft and Catholicism."
Then, Marquis examines Catholicism and witchcraft from the vantage
point of a former witch. Marquis identifies several critically
important areas in which the practice of Roman Catholicism and
witchcraft are identical. We will first list these areas of commonalty
and then comment specifically upon them. These common areas are:

1.The Altar

2. The Golden Goblet "Chalice"

3.Colored Candles

4. The Use of Incense

5. The use of bells in the Ceremony.

6. Praying to Statues.

7. Use of Latin in Services.

8. Use of golden scepter
in giving a large blessing to the People

9. Common belief in Purgatory

10.Common Belief in the Host

11.Common Belief in the five Elements

.

.

Now, let us examine each of these areas of commonalty:

1. The altar in every Catholic church is prominently positioned
at the front of the church. The "Mysteries of the Mass"
are celebrated on and around the altar. In witchcraft, also,
the altar is similarly used for three purposes:
To practice certain metaphysical rites, such as the casting
of certain spells or to honor occult deities.
To hold the tools of magic.
To perform human sacrifice.
The Roman Catholic altar also holds their tools of their magic,
and they daily perform human sacrifice. Remember, we are looking
at this subject through the eyes of a former high-level witch
who is now a born-again Christian. This daily human sacrifice
is performed according to the false belief in "transubstantiation",
the belief that the priest magically transforms the wafer into
Jesus' body and the wine into His blood.

Marquis states, "In other words, every day Christ is
being reincarnated and then sacrificed... they perform daily
their human sacrifice in which Christ is ...sacrificed for their
sins." It is shocking to realize that the Roman Catholics
are daily performing human sacrifice in a manner similar to that
of witches throughout the centuries.

2. The Catholic Golden Goblet, or Chalice. "It is this
cup that the wine poured into it becomes the...literal blood
of Christ. When a witch does a human sacrifice, after the victim's
throat is sliced open, the spilled blood will be collected in
a chalice, just as the Catholics do, except the witch's chalice
holds the real thing." In Satan's eyes, the Catholics are
performing the same rite as the witches.

3. "Candles were introduced to the Catholic mass about
320 A.D. There is no Scriptural reasons for them, unless... you
are a practicing witch. Below is a list of different colored
candles a witch would use throughout the year. See if you can
recall any of these colors used during a Catholic mass: continued:

CHRISTIANS IN EUROPE:
NORWAY DIVORCES PROTESTANT CHURCH AS MUSLIMS BLAMED FOR 'PARALLEL
SOCIETIES'

By Cristina Silva - December 28, 2016 - Norway is asking
for a divorce from its biggest, most important church. The Church
of Norway and the Norwegian

government will formally become separated on Jan. 1 after
nearly 500 years.

Norway seeks to formalize a separation of church and state
ordered by parliament eight years ago. Under the new law, Norway's
1,250 priests and bishops will no longer serve as government
officials appointed by the king. That means the Church of Norway
will become an independent business, and it's a big deal in a
nation that has been grappling with an influx of Muslims and
how to ensure other religions have equal protection. We
are facing the biggest organizational change of the church since
the Reformation, Jens-Petter Johnsen, the head of the Churchs
National Council, said. The changes will create a clear
separation between church and state.

The bill that passed parliament nearly a decade ago overhauled
Norway's Constitution by erasing the phrase, "The Evangelical-Lutheran
religion will remain the states public religion.
Instead, lawmakers came up with this language: "The Church
of Norway, an Evangelical-Lutheran Church, will remain Norway's
national church and will be supported as such by the state."

But for proponents of separating church and state, that's
not enough of a distinction. As long as the Constitution
says that the Church of Norway is Norway's national church, and
that it should be supported by the state, we still have a state
church, said Kristin Mile, secretary general of the Norwegian

Humanist Association, according to local media reports.http://www.ibtimes.com/christians-europe-norway-divorces-protestant-church-muslims-blamed-parallel-societies-2466375

KNIGHTS OF MALTA TO POPE: STAY OUT OF OUR INTERNAL AFFAIRS

NICOLE WINFIELD | AP | December 25, 2016 - VATICAN CITY:
The Order of Malta, the ancient Roman Catholic aristocratic lay
order, has told Pope Francis that his decision to launch an investigation
into the ouster of a top official over an old condom scandal
is unacceptable.

In an extraordinary rebuke of the pontiff, the group said
late Friday that the replacement of its grand chancellor was
an act of internal governmental administration of the Sovereign
Order of Malta and consequently falls solely within its competence.
Francis on Thursday appointed a five-member commission to investigate
the Dec. 8 ouster of Albrecht von Boeselager amid suggestions
that Francis own envoy to the group, conservative Cardinal
Raymond Burke, helped engineer it without his blessing. Burke
has emerged as one of Francis top critics.
One charge used against von Boeselager concerned a program that
the orders Malteser International aid group had participated
in several years ago with other aid groups to help sex slaves
in Myanmar, including giving them condoms to protect them from
HIV infection.
Church teaching bars the use of artificial contraception. Von
Boeselager has said as soon as the orders headquarters
in Rome learned of the condom distribution, two of the projects
were immediately halted. A third continued, he said, so as not
to deprive a poor region of Myanmar of all basic medical services.
The project eventually ended after the Vaticans doctrine
office intervened.http://www.arabnews.com/node/1029036/world

FRANCIS CREATED VATICAN COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE KNIGHTS OF
MALTA

By Joshua J. McElwee | Dececember. 22, 2016 - NCR Today -
Rome -- Pope Francis has created a new Vatican commission to
investigate the recent decision of the head of the Knights of
Malta to fire one of the order's senior leaders, asking the commission
members to report back "in short-order." The commission
is to investigate Knights of Malta Grand Master Matthew Festing's
decision to fire the order's Grand Chancellor, Albrecht Boeselager.
The decision has sparked open debates among Knights about whether
Boeselager's firing was lawful or justified.

Boeselager says his firing was in violation of the Knights'
constitution. As reported by The Tablet, the firing led several
prominent members of the order to accuse Festing of causing a
constitutional crisis within the order.

The Sovereign Military Order of the Knights of Malta, as
it is formally known, is a prestigious lay religious order that
was founded at the end of the 11th century to defend the faith
and assist the poor.

The Grand Master of the order is elected for life and is
traditionally given a number of special honors, including having
the precedence of a cardinal in church ceremonies and events.
The spiritual patron of the order is U.S. Cardinal Raymond Burke.https://www.ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/francis-creates-vatican-commission-investigate-knights-malta

POPE LAYS OUT GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF ROMAN CURIA REFORM
December 22, 2016 - (Vatican Radio) Pope Francis invited the
Roman Curia to embrace the process of reform on Thursday, telling
them Christmas is the feast of the loving humility of God,
of the God who upsets our logical expectations, the established
order. His words came in his annual Christmas greetings
to the Roman Curia. At Christmas, Pope Francis said,
we are called to say yes with our faith, not
to the Master of the universe, and not even the most noble ideas,
but precisely to this God who is the humble lover. [...]
In conclusion, the Holy Father reiterated that Christmas is the
feast of Gods loving humility and repeated a prayer of
Fr. Matta el Meskin, addressing the Lord Jesus born in Bethlehem.
[...] Grant us to become small like you, so that we can
draw near to you and receive from you abundant humility and meekness.
Do not deprive us of your revelation, the epiphany of your infancy
in our hearts, so that with it we can heal all our pride and
all our arrogance. We greatly need for you to reveal in
us your simplicity, by drawing us, and indeed the Church and
the whole world, to yourself. [...] Saint Augustine, contemplating
the face of the Baby Jesus, exclaimed: immense in the form
of God, tiny in the form of a slave. To describe the mystery
of the Incarnation, Saint Macarius, the fourth-century monk and
disciple of Saint Anthony Abbot, used the Greek verb smikryno,
to become small, to reduce to the bare minimum. He says: Listen
attentively: the infinite, unapproachable and uncreated God,
in his immense and ineffable goodness has taken a body, and,
I dare say, infinitely diminished his glory.[...]

By Joshua J. McElwee | December 22, 2016 - Rome -- Pope Francis
on Thursday lashed out against high-level Catholic prelates who
have been opposing his efforts to reform the Vatican's central
bureaucracy, using an annual pre-Christmas meeting to say that
while some cardinals and archbishops offer questions in a spirit
of goodwill others practice a "malevolent resistance."
Such sinister opposition, the pontiff said, "sprouts from
twisted minds and presents itself when the devil inspires bad
intentions."

The pope also said it "finds refuge in tradition, in
appearances, in formality, in the known, or in the desire to
make everything personal without distinguishing between act,
actor, and action." Francis was speaking Thursday in an
annual meeting that under previous pontiffs had simply been a
polite encounter to exchange greetings before the holidays. But
in 2014 he shocked the Vatican bureaucracy, known as the Roman
curia, by using the occasion to list off 15 "spiritual sicknesses"
he said he had witnessed among them. In 2015, he offered what
he called a "catalog of virtues" to help them overcome
the sicknesses. https://www.ncronline.org/news/vatican/francis-denounces-resistance-vatican-reform-christmas-speech-curia

THE INDIAN STATE OF GOA ENFORCES PEOPLE TO USE MOBILE-PHONE
BANKING, TO BECOME THE FIRST CASHLESS AREA FROM DECEMBER 31,
2016

Goa goes cashless with SIM-sticker - The Indian state of
Goa enforces people to use mobile-phone banking, to become the
first cashless area from 31st of December.
India is in the frontline in the last war on cash, a sign of
the beginning of the Great Tribulation.

The Goa State Co-operative Bank (GSCB) in its endeavour to
adopt cashless transactions will be launching a mobile banking
facility, based on SIM sleeve technology which can be used even
without Internet connectivity.
Goa goes cashless with SIM-sticker - The Goa State Co-operative
Bank (GSCB) in its endeavour to adopt cashless transactions will
be launching a mobile banking facility, based on SIM sleeve technology
which can be used even without Internet connectivity. The SIM-card
sticker will also work when placed on the forehand. The age of
the final antichrist is about to begin. Addressing the media,
GSCB chairman Ulhas Phaldesai said that the cooperative societies
in the state have resolved to achieve the target of commencing
cashless transactions by December 25.

The co-operative societies met on Monday and have unanimously
resolved to proceed to achieve the target by December 25 to adhere
to the given timeframe of December 31 by the Goa government,
he added. SIM sleeve technology uses a thin sticker which is
pasted on the SIM card being used in the mobile phone regardless
of its size, nano, micro or standard. The sticker installs a
SIM Tool Kit (STK)-based app which can be used on any phone and
also without the internet. Source: The Navhind Times

Ivarfjeld comment: India might become the first nation to
enforce people to take a 12-digit number to be able to buy and
sell. After the Indian government nullified all 500 and 1000
rupee notes on 8th of November, the Prime Minister has promised
to create a cashless economy. The state of Goa has been singled
out as a model state. From 31st of December, the small state
with a population of 1,7 million, shall become the fist cashless
state. My local banker said it bluntly. This is enforced digitization.
Cash is forcefully removed from the market. People shall feel
the pinch, and will not be able to do purchases using cash. The
radical change in India is not only an example of despotism.
It is apocalyptic. The book of Revelation tells us about a day
when 3.000 years of use of cash will come to an end. And a number
will be introduced, and made to monopolize all trade. In the
Bible, this number is called the mark of the beast. The symbol
of the last and final antichrist. All who take it, will be demonized
and eventually thrown into the everlasting fire of Hell.

Revelation 13: 15-17.

The second beast was given power to give breath to the image
of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all
who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced
all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to
receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so
that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which
is the name of the beast or the number of its name.https://ivarfjeld.com/2016/12/06/goa-goes-cashless-with-sim-sticker/

THE ROOF CAME DOWN ON PROSPERITY
CHURCH

The roof of a church collapsed in southern Nigeria, killing
at least 160 people, with the death toll likely to rise, according
to the Associated Press.
December 12, 2016 - ivarfjeld - The roof of a church collapsed
in southern Nigeria, killing at least 160 people, with the death
toll likely to rise, according to the Associated Press. 160 people
died and perished, as they listen to a false prosperity teacher,
misusing the name of Jesus. The outlet reports that
the Reigners Bible Church International in the city of Uyo was
still under construction when workers began rushing to finish
it in time for Saturdays ceremony to ordain founder Akan
Weeks as a bishop.

Weeks, a prosperity preacher, escaped unhurt, as did state
governor Udom Emmanuel. A crane is being used to lift debris
believed to be hiding the bodies of more victims, according to
the report.
There were trapped bodies, parts of bodies, blood all over
the place and peoples handbags and shoes scattered,
witness Ukeme Eyibio said. Eyibio, who escaped injury because
he was making a phone call from his car, reportedly heard what
he thought was a bomb, and then saw that the church had
disappeared, he told the AP.https://ivarfjeld.com/

VATICAN ORDERS ALL CATHOLIC PRIESTS WORLDWIDE TO PREACH THE 'GOSPEL'
OF CLIMATE CHANGE
The Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences has ruled that climate
change is real and caused by human activity. Members of the church
have been urged to spread the message in a non-political manner.
Catholic priests are now expected to preach about climate change
to their parishioners, Vatican church chiefs have announced.
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness:
and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of
names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the
woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with
gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her
hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE
GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation 17:3-5 (KJV)

EDITOR OF "NowTheEndBeginsS NOTE: As we get closer
to the Rapture of the Church which will usher in the time of
Jacobs trouble, we see the Vatican Whore getting ready
to assume her role as the great Babylon the Bible declares she
will be. Pope Francis obvious desire to be a political
king on the global stage lifts the Vatican rock and lets us see
the slimy end times creatures underneath. It is part of a worldwide
drive by the faith to increase environmental awareness. New guidelines
issued to priests state that members of the clergy should be
promoters of appropriate care for everything
connected to the protection of creation. The Vaticans
Pontifical Academy of Sciences has ruled that climate change

Thomas Reese | December 8, 2016 - NCR Today - The idea that
gays cannot be good priests is stupid, demeaning, unjust, and
contrary to the facts. I know many very good priests who are
gay, and I suspect even more good priests I know are gay. And
yet this absurd idea keeps resurfacing every time a document
like "The Gift of the Priestly Vocation," a detailed
set of guidelines and norms for priestly formation, is released
by the Vatican, as occurred on December 7, 2016 - The document
actually has many good things in it. It emphasizes the need for
pastoral training of priests, education in the social teaching
of the church, and the involvement of women in seminary training.
It also calls for training in the protection of minors.
But it also quotes a 2005 instruction from Pope Benedict XVI
that said, "The Church, while profoundly respecting the
persons in question, cannot admit to the seminary or to holy
orders those who practice homosexuality, present deep-seated
homosexual tendencies or support the so-called 'gay culture.'
"
Some interpreted this to mean no homosexuals could be seminarians
or priests. Others interpreted it to mean a homosexual incapable
of living a celibate life could not be a priest. Benedict is
not a stupid man, so I always interpreted it to mean the latter,
as did many bishops, seminary rectors and religious superiors.

But, sadly, the instruction was not clear to some. It would have
been helpful if the instruction had also said, "The Church,
while profoundly respecting the persons in question, cannot admit
to the seminary or to holy orders those who practice heterosexuality,
present deep-seated heterosexual tendencies, or support the so-called
'macho culture.' " It is about celibacy, not sexual orientation.
Whether gay or straight, if you are going to be a priest at the
present time, you have to be celibate. https://www.ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/jesuit-head-us-strike-syria-would-be-abuse-power

OBAMA CRUSHED AFTER TRUMP ORDER WHITE HOUSE TO STOP DAILY ISLAMIC
PRAYERS AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Obama was seen storming away from the West Wing after staffers
from Donald Trumps transition team began preparing the
Executive offices for the new administration. On Trumps
orders, one of Obamas most secretive rituals is being reversed
and all signs of it removed from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

For the past 7 years, to appease any Muslims working at or
visiting the White House, silence has been ordered during the
five times of Islamic prayer each day. In addition, prayer rugs
and crescent moon symbols are available in several areas of the
executive mansion to make Muslims more comfortable.

The administration has defended the practice by asserting
that it also observes several other religious moments of silence
and prayer out of respect, including a full 15 seconds for Christianity
on Sunday morning while a chaplain blesses a staff breakfast.
None of the prayer is mandatory or led by a government official,
which has allowed the administration to subvert 1st Amendment
issues, but the obvious favoritism towards Islam, which is observed
for 25 minutes per day seven days a week, tells a story this
president has denied for eight years.

resident-Elect Trump, who acknowledges that this country
was founded by Christians and was built on Christian morals,
is having all pagan symbols removed from the property unless
they offer some historical significance. Only the cross in the
White House chapel will remain for worship. Jim Mergernerlerny,
head of the team that will transform the White House from the
Obamas home to the Trumps second home, told MSNBC:

Mr. Trump doesnt see the need to provide prayer
rugs and false idols is a house built by Christians. Washington
DC offers a diverse cultural center for worship of any kind.
You wont find any special considerations for Judaism or
crucifixes to appease Catholics, either. There is a simple chapel
with a single cross on one wall that is suitable for prayer by
anyone. Our government doesnt need to be forcing prayer
rituals down peoples throats just so we dont offend
people looking to blow us up. Patriots around the US can
rest assured that the era of apologizing for our faith has come
to an end.http://tridentinecatholic.com/wp/?p=2650

CONSIDER THESE EVENTS THAT ARE RAPIDLY ADVANCING IN OUR DAY:
-the coming together of global governance
-the rapid technological advancements that are enabling and merging
together a tracking, monitoring, and digital financial system
that ultimately will become the 'mark of the beast'
-growing lukewarmness and apostate nature of "Christianity"
-Geo-political alignments of nations, all seemingly hostile to
Israel
-increasingly devastating natural disasters and pestilence
-false/pseudo messiah's
-wars and rumors of wars
-rise of occultism and paganism
-the rise of all sorts of violence around the earth
-global economy on the verge of collapse
Ednote:
-earthquakes
-the Bible is being changed on our shelves supernaturally Ednote: -Restrainer being removedEdnote: -UN voted on two state solution only 7 countries
voted against it
Literally, I could go on and on with what is going wrong in the
world, but I think you get the drift. Many in Christendom would
say pompously- "ahh that stuff has been going on since the
beginning. Everything is cyclical, and we are just in another
cycle of endless cycles-- when things get bad, then they get
better, and then bad, and so on and so forth." I have spoken
personally to many people and clergy who hold to this opinion.
For them, Christ's return is about as important a focus for them
and their ministries as the color of icicles are on Saturn's
rings. They are far "too busy building up His Kingdom here"
to worry about if or when Christ will return. For these people,
Christ Himself said this...
Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast
and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon
you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon
you. (Revelation 3:3)
Ah, but the skeptic says, "Hey, that doesn't apply to me,
Jesus (if He even wrote that), was speaking to some church in
ancient Asia Minor. That has no relevance to me today."
Notice what Christ says in the very next verse... "He who
has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches"
(Rev. 3:4).
Conclusion:
We are called in these last days to stand firm and to be bulwarks
in a growing storm that is increasingly and violently shifting
and moving everything about. The only way we can stand firm is
if we stand in Christ because in and of ourselves, we do not
possess the ability, nor even the desire to go against the dark
tide. It is not pleasant, especially considering what is coming
upon the earth and in particular, what we have to look forward
to so long as the Lord tarries. But we stand nonetheless, and
we proclaim the saving power of the blood of Christ through worship,
waiting, working, and watching.
Some worship and work, but do not watch or wait for the Lord's
return, and they quickly burn out. Some watch and wait, but do
not work or worship, and they drift off into the fringe. We need
all four to balance out our faith, because work is tiresome,
and without the hope of our "Blessed Hope" we lose
heart. All watching and no worship causes us to watch for anything,
and soon our short attention span hearts, will drift into areas
that appear more exciting or conspiratorial. We need all four
because God built us to do all four, and when any of the four
are missing, we drift from where God intended us to be. God built
us with eternity in our hearts, and only the eternal can fully
satisfy what we know is lacking in the here and now.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward
man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by
day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is
working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the
things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are
temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2
Cor. 4:16-18)http://www.omegaletter.com/articles/articles.asp?ArticleID=8352

AMAZON PIONEERS CASHLESS STORES REQUIRE IMPLANTS

AMAZON TO OPEN GRAB AND GO GROCERY STORE WITH NO CHECKOUT
LINES

By: Colleen West - Natasha Chen - December 5, 2016 - A store
with no checkout lines? According to Amazon, it's right around
the corner, at least in Seattle. According to the online giant,
Amazon Go is a brick-and-mortar store in which customers can
walk out of the store without a check-out register and have the
items automatically billed to their Amazon accounts.

Using the Amazon Go app, the customer enters the store, takes
the products they want and then walks out when finished. The
app keeps track of what is taken, so you dont have to spend
time scanning them or manually entering them in. Using what they
say is the same technologies used in self-driving cars, their
Just Walk Out technology: 
Automatically detects when products are taken from or returned
to the shelves and keeps track of them in a virtual cart. When
youre done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly
after, well charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.

The store at 2131 Seventh Avenue, on the corner of Seventh
Avenue and Blanchard Street in downtown Seattle is currently
only available to Amazon employees while its being tested,
but will open to the public in early 2017.

By Nate Brown - December 6, 2016 - Imagine on your next trip
to the grocery store, that there were no checkouts, no cashiers,
and no lines. You could simply walk in, grab what you need and
go. Sounds great right? Amazon has created a next-level
grocery store in Seattle that does just that by utilizing machine
intelligence and facial recognition software. New technology
like this is paving the way towards microchip implants, and the
mark of the beast.

Amazon, the largest online shopping network in the world
is entering into the real world, and their first step is Amazon
Go, a store that utilizes a smartphone app and cashier-less store.

Sounds great right? No.

Amazons store paves the way towards the Mark of the
Beast by creating an environment where an application can check
out for you. In other words, what takes place when you
walk into the go store can be understood with three
steps. 1. Scan a personally identifiable barcode, within the
Go app. Sound familiar?

Revelation 13:16-17 - 1599 Geneva Version

16 And he made all, both small and great, rich and poor,
free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their
foreheads.

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the
mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name.

The barcode, within the app, given to the customer is one
step short of an implantable microchip. Currently, microchip
technology is on the rise, and in recent months has been included
into bank cards, atm cards, credit cards, and so on. According
to Dr. Oz  Chip technology is the next big
thing. An artificial intelligence monitors your every move, breath,
and facial expression, computer vision; while inside the store.

The artificial intelligence that is monitoring every breath,
facial expression and every step taken within the go store is
saving all of that information into a single database. The Amazon
store showcases that sooner rather than later  a vast database
with every facial expression and feature of every person who
walks into an Amazon go store will be saved and stored. The 1984
Orwellian nightmare of a totalitarian police state has gotten
one step closer.

The artificial intelligence being used is machine learning
and computer vision, meaning that as it gets used  it learns
on its own. Machine learning, specifically, is a type of artificial
intelligence (AI) that provides computers with the ability to
learn without being explicitly programmed. Meaning there is no
person actively inputting information into the machine 
it is teaching itself every single facial expression and feature.

LOOK-ALIKE NAKED COWBOY" MORPHED INTO SANTA BY
CO-PASTOR?
By Heather Clark -December 24, 2016 - The youth leader at Hillsong
NYC, who generated controversy earlier this year after appearing
at a Christian womens conference as a look-alike to the
citys famed Naked Cowboy, recently was photographed
at a Christmas tropical party again half-nakeda
photo that was later deleted following concerns.

Esther Houston, the wife of Joel Houston, who serves as the
leader of the popular worship band Hillsong United and co-pastor
of Hillsong NYC, posted the photo to her Instagram this week
with the caption When the Christmas tropical party is lit.

The photo featured youth leader Diego Simila with his shirt
completely unbuttoned to bear his chest and short cut-off jean
shorts, while wearing a Santa hat and having a tropical drink.
Adjacent to Simila is Houston, a former Brazilian model, posing
in a manner that exposed up her thigh.
Some of the commenters under the photo found the snapshot to
be humorous.

Hahahaha @diegosimila!! Im crying! one
wrote. Diego, you make my life complete. @diegosimila
me and @strazzabeatdown are dying right now!!! another
exclaimed. But one woman expressed concern about the example
that Simila and Houston were setting as professing Christians.

How is this glorifying to Jesus Christ? she asked,
and pointed to 1 Thessalonians 5:22, which admonishes Christians
to abstain from all appearance of evil. God
will hold you accountable for your poor example to young Christians,
she opined.

One viewer shot back at the woman, stating that she was being
ridiculous, and contending that there was nothing
sinful about the photograph.
